The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office reports that a third suspect has been arrested, and a fourth is wanted, in connection with last week’s murder in the Village of Tangipahoa: 20-year-old Irvin Foster has been booked on one count each of 2nd Degree Murder and Illegal Use of Weapons and 21-year-old Cyntrell Bean is wanted for one count of Principle to 2nd Degree Murder.
Just after midnight on Tuesday (November 3, 2026), a call came in from the 12000 block of Silo Road in the Village of Tangipahoa reporting shots fired. Deputies assisting the Village of Tangipahoa Police Department (TPD) arrived to locate spent shell casings in the roadway and an unresponsive man with a gunshot wound laying next to a shed. Despite life-saving measures, 37-year-old David Lee Burton later died.
During the initial investigation, which is being led by TPSO on behalf of the TPD, detectives arrested a 15-year-old male on various charges including 2nd Degree Murder as well as 22-year-old Jacollis Burton for multiple charges including Principle to 2nd Degree Murder. At the time, drugs appeared to be the motive.
As the investigation developed, detectives determined the incident included a relationship-related dispute prior to the shooting and that Bean and Foster both had roles in the shooting. Thanks to the Amite Police Department, Foster was taken into custody on Tuesday (November 10, 2026) morning. Detectives have not been able to locate Bean.
This investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information about this crime, or Bean’s whereabouts, is encouraged to contact the TPSO Criminal Investigations Division at 985-902-2088.
